Figure 13, A-Vq differences in septic shock (closed circles) and septic shock with 

 hypothermia (open circles). Baseline (B) values are similar in both groups. During septic 

 shock (S.S.), A-Vq rose with further rise later in the S.S. group. Under hypothermia 

 (S.S, + H.), however, there was significant improvement in A-Vq^.
